Window exhibit
honors go to
Cloister FFA
HARRISBURG - In their
first Farm Show com
petition, the Cloister Future
Farmers of America
Chapter from Ephrata High
School took a first placing in
the vocational window
exhibit contest held this
week in Harrisburg.
The display, entitled “The
Chicken Puts It All
Together,” . told what was
required to produce an egg
and its food value.
A winner at two local fairs
during the Fall, the Ephrata
entry had already earned the
chapter $BO before they
decided to enter it in Farm
Show.
The basic color scheme is
bright yellow and bright blue
- the FFA colors - and the
exhibit features 25 live
chicks. According to
remarks from passers-by,
these live chicks are
probably the most striking
aspect of the exhibit.
The chapter decided to go
with the chicks mainly
because other displays
featured an attention-getting
mechanical device, and the
Cloister Chapter wanted the
same benefits through a
more unique avenue.
According to one of the
members of the Ephrata
High School junior class who
helped to construct the blue
ribbon winner, the first {dace
display took a lot of work.
After initial construction
for the local shows, the
display was stored for three
weeks. Then it was moved
back to the Ephrata vo-ag
shop by mid-December for
touch ups.
This ' remodeling effort
took several hours each day 1
for the members involved
and included replacing some
stenciled letters, repainting
backboards, and reworking
a homemade scaled down
barn which housed the
chicks.

Then, it was hauled to
Harrisburg where it
promptly earned blue ribbon
honors for its neat, attrac
tive, and creative_design.
"According to one of the
Ephrata chapter members,
this year will probably be the
start of a regular tradition
now that they have achieved
their initial success.
Since they concentrate on
the various different areas of
livestock, the next topic is
expected to be beef.
The second place exhibit
was entitled “Happy 50th
Birthday” and featured a
revolving Future Farmers of
America birthday cake as
well as literature and
plaques on the FFA. The
chapter entering it was
Northern Lebanon High
School.
In clearly printed, easy
reading lettering on the
backboard, comparisons
between the 1928 and 1977
FFA were made.
